New Year Recipe

On just about any potluck spread, where I’m from, you will find cream cheese pinwheels. They’re one of my potluck favorites, and everyone else’s, too. I like these salami pinwheels even better because there is no flour tortilla involved. I love tortillas but they get kind of soggy in pinwheels. The salami in this recipe…

New Year’s Eve has always been fun with my mom. It’s full of junk food and movies and staying up late. Well, late can be relative. I am so thankful that Netflix has an anytime countdown for kids. I bet we all end up in bed by 11. One of our favorite New Year’s Eve…

Last Saturday Top Girl and I went shopping where at some point we decided to get a bite to eat. We drove to our favorite sit-down place to eat on Saturday only to be told the wait would be almost an hour! We left, walking across the parking lot to one of the chain steak…

First, let me say these Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze are ridiculously luscious, moist, and tender. I’ve been searching for something new to make mom for her birthday. The last few years I’ve been making her that pineapple cake with coconut pecan icing so this year I wanted something different. Mom loves a good cinnamon…

This Orange Sponge Cake is perfect to make after you’ve made meringue cookies, meringue for a pie or an angel food cake because it uses up all the egg yolks you didn’t use in the other! I am sorry we haven’t been together for a few weeks but here’s what happened: two days after…

Hi everyone. I’ll get to the Butterscotch cake with Penuche Icing in a minute but first, let me tell you why I have been MIA for a while. If you are on Face Book, then I am sure either you or someone you know has shared a recipe from Chocolate, chocolate, and More! The owner…

It’s the weekend! Last weekend I made this Easy Cinnamon Butter Monkey Bread – a request from Mr. Picky Eater, and it was fantastic. We munched and munched all morning long until it was all gone. We needed it as we have been busy as bees around the house. We generally do not pay much…

A Smorgastarta is a Swedish Sandwich Cake recipe that has many variations. I had my first one at my Aunt and Uncle’s home on graduation night for my cousin. Aunt Jan used bright pink food coloring for one of the layers and I was so mesmerized by this great tasting savory “cake” with bright pink…

The weather is finally warm and beautiful here in the land of the Sooner. In fact, it is going to be in the 90’s for the next few days….that might be a little too hot for me! Nonetheless, we are doing all things summer-like at the house these days like grilling burgers, which is one…

Today is National Pound Cake Day! I love pound cake, don’t you? When I am nauseated, pound cake is the best internal settler I have found. Do you have a favorite kind of pound cake like me? My Nana’s (of course) was the very best – but a cold piece of Sara Lee will do…
